-The GNOME applet and Gaim plugin are somewhat experimental. The applet
-seems to be working well, but the installation have some quirks (since
-GNOME does  not normally look in  /usr/local, care must  be taken with
-the installation prefix). The  Gaim plugin has some performance issues
-and seems to  be leaking some memory. The  performance problems lie in
-Gaim itself, however, and the Gaim developers have indicated that they

+The GNOME applet and Gaim  plugin are somewhat experimental. Both work
+fairly  well, but they  do require  special care  during installation,
